How Tall Do You Think I Should Be?!


Question: How Tall Do You Think I Should Be?
I'm 13 years old and have about one year left to grow. I'm 5ft tall and grew 1/2 an inch in five months. The doctor said I should be 5'3. My dad's 5'5 1/2 from short family and my mom's 5'4. She's the shortest in her family but comes from a tall family. How tall do you think I should be?

Answers:

You do not grow until you're 19. That's a pure myth. You will continue to grow until your plates in your foot have closed completely. Time will tell so I wouldn't stress over it. I would think that you would fall somewhere between 5'2 and 5'5 but, if anyone else in your family (on either side) is taller then 5'5, then you also have a slim chance of being taller than your dad. It's not a bad thing



You grow until your about 19, but just not as rapidly. If you are 5ft thats average for a 13 year old, thats how tall I am! You will probably be an average height at about 5'5 or 5'6.



You will probably peak at 5'2 at 15.



Go ask Alice when she's 10 feet tall...
